- **Event Description**: Connection To Freedom: Works by Mason Archie will be on display at RAM starting January 31st with an opening reception from 1-3pm and artist talk starting at 1:30. Archie presents two major bodies of work that are deeply rooted in American history and collective memory.

The first is Archie’s acclaimed Underground Railroad Series, an ongoing exploration of historic sites and narratives of courage, resistance, and liberation spanning the Midwest to the East Coast. These paintings invite viewers into landscapes that once bore witness to humanity’s moral crossroads, offering both aesthetic beauty and powerful educational insight.

The second body of work, Landscapes in the City of Indianapolis, reflects Archie’s contemporary engagement with place and history. Inspired by Theodore C. Steele’s Meridian Street, Thawing Weather, these works capture quiet, often overlooked urban scenes, preserving them for present and future generations while offering Archie’s unique perspective on historic and evolving spaces.

Across his career, Archie’s command of realism serves not merely as technical virtuosity but as a vehicle for storytelling—bridging past and present, beauty and truth. His paintings invite reflection, foster understanding, and connect viewers to histories that continue to shape our collective identity. Through craftsmanship, historical consciousness, and emotional depth, Mason Archie stands as a significant and compelling voice in contemporary American fine art.
